  2. Utility–possibility frontier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility–possibility_frontier

    The graph shows the maximum amount of one person's utility given each level of utility attained by all others in society. [1] The utility–possibility frontier (UPF) is the upper frontier of the utility possibilities set, which is the set of utility levels of agents possible for a given amount of output, and thus the utility levels possible in ...

  3. Gap analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap_analysis

    A gap analysis can also be used to compare one process to others performed elsewhere, which are often identified through benchmarking. In this usage, one compares each process side-by-side and step-by-step and then notes the differences. One then analyzes each deviation to determine if there is any benefit to changing to the alternate process.

  4. Allocative efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allocative_efficiency

    Allocation efficiency occurs when there is an optimal distribution of goods and services, considering consumer's preference. When the price equals marginal cost of production, the allocation efficiency is at the output level. This is because the optimal distribution is achieved when the marginal utility of good equals the marginal cost.

  5. Welfare maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_maximization

    In general, there may be a different matroid for each agent, and the allocation must give each agent i a subset X i that is an independent set of their own matroid. Welfare maximization with additive utilities under heterogeneous matroid constraints can be done in polynomial time, by reduction to the weighted matroid intersection problem.

  6. Economic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_efficiency

    The mainstream view is that market economies are generally believed to be closer to efficient than other known alternatives [4] and that government involvement is necessary at the macroeconomic level (via fiscal policy and monetary policy) to counteract the economic cycle – following Keynesian economics. At the microeconomic level there is ...

  7. Economic planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_planning

    The process used directives which were issued to lower-level organizations. Thus, the Soviet economic model was often referred to as a command economy or an administered economy as plan directives were enforced by inducements in a vertical power structure, with actual planning playing little functional role in the allocation of resources. Owing ...

  9. Resource allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_allocation

    In economics, the field of public finance deals with three broad areas: macroeconomic stabilization, the distribution of income and wealth, and the allocation of resources. . Much of the study of the allocation of resources is devoted to finding the conditions under which particular mechanisms of resource allocation lead to Pareto efficient outcomes, in which no party's situation can be ...
